ABSTRACT
We have developed an experimental system in which a new Gallium-Indium containing transducer can continuously measure the changes of separation distances between the femoral and tibial points. The measurements provides information for the attachment location in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and used for various combinations of extra-articular and intra-articular methods. At the first experiment, the distance between each pair of points at the level of the capsule for fifteen combinations during simple flexion-extension knee motion were measured on six cadaveric knees. At the next experiment, in an ACL-deficient knee the distances of ten combinations in the intra-articular method were measured. These results indicated that for an isometric placement the combination of the center of tibial insertion and the postero-proximal of the femoral origin of the ACL appeared to furnish a better location for intraarticular reconstruction. No combination was recommended for extraarticular reconstruction.
